You sign Dhop, you probably have to cut MVS, and you're back to hero ball. Only not as good, because Hopkins is no Tyreek Hill.

This whole thought process is dumb.

This offense was BETTER with a more diverse but less individually great corps of weapons. It's like you guys just didn't notice.
Lolz, I don't think anyone's really banging on the table here. We're really just blue-skying more than anything. Chill a little. We're just having a bit of fun. It's the offseason. it's talk about the absurdity of having DHop, or talk about the new terminal additions at KCI.

Two things though: Veach seemed to believe that he could keep CJ and the rest of the defense intact (minus probably Frank), keep OBJ, and sign Hill last year. So he had a plan on how to fit all that under the cap. So if Veach does acquire DHop I have no doubt he'll be able to do it without having to lose Bolton, Sneed, and the rest. Veach wouldn't go get DHop and trash the rest of the team. He's not that stupid.

Second, signing DHop doesn't mean we have to play hero ball. At all. He isn't going to run endless go routes; he's a complete, elite WR that can run every route. The go routes are probably the ones he won't run. Or at least not nearly as often. And who cares if we lose MVS in the process? I mean, he did a great job for us, but really he's just a limited role speed receiver; we could probably draft a guy that could be developed into an MVS clone by November. Pure speed is replaceable through the draft.

DHop, though, tilts the field. 90+% of secondaries can't single him up. he was considered the best WR in the NFL just a couple seasons ago. And he's still one of the best in the game vs. both man and zone, something JuJu isn't. He even has the advantage over Hill, in part due to that huge catch radius. But you can't single up Travis either. It creates a conundrum that most defenses will not be able to solve, especially with Pat under center. DHop is basically as unguardable as Kelce.

And that opens to the door to an array of possibilities that . . . well, some are probably unimaginable. But two SB Rings in a row becomes nearly inevitable. Three in a row seems almost likely. 6,000 yards/60 TDs? how about doing it twice in a row? Perfect season? Perfect seasons?

It's like dreaming you're in Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
